Overview of the Echo PB-8010T
The Echo PB-8010T
- Power: The Echo PB-8010T is a gas-powered leaf blower. It sports a max air speed of 211 MPH and a max air volume rating of 1071 cubic feet per minute (CFM).
- Handling: As this unit is a backpack leaf blower, the majority of the unit is distributed so that the user can operate it with ease for most reasonable periods of use. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. Be aware that, at 24.5 lbs, the Echo PB-8010T is on the heavier side of gas-powered backpack blowers.
- Engine: The blower is fitted with a 79.9cc engine. Since this is a 2-stroke engine, it’s important to remember that the PB-8010T cannot run on gasoline alone. The fuel must be mixed with an appropriate ratio of gasoline and oil in order for it to function properly (for this Echo model, this ratio is 50:1).
- Speed Settings: Thanks to its variable speed settings, the Echo PB-8010T allows precise control of the air output.
- Noise: Its noise rating of 79.3 dB can be considered the standard for similar gas-powered backpack blowers.

Most powerful backpack blower I’ve ever touched!
Starts right up. Nice size gas tank. No other blower will move leaves and debris like this blower! NO OTHER!!! you will not be sorry you purchased this blower. I was always a Br600 Stihl fan not any more, its wimpy compared to this blower.
I’ve used this blower for two seasons now. We live on a heavily wooded piece of property, and try to keep the two acres surrounding our house clear of leaves. I’ve owned a few blowers, and nothing beats the 8010T. Period. The power, air volume and dependability (minimal maintenance + one stroke start) can’t be beat. I’ve used this for spring and fall this year for eight hour days / one week at a time, and it simply makes short work out of big jobs. YOU MUST wear hearing protection. No way around it when you’re strapping a 79.9 cc two stroke motor to your shoulders.
I own Stihl everything.. except my backpack blower. This unit blows its competitors away. Im very impressed with its power. Fuel capacity is nice. Fan on my back is like sprinkles on the ice cream sundae.
bought this blower last week and let me tell you the power is crazy but its more lighter thanks to the carbon fiber frame and its such a beast and I will say its powerful light and one thing wear hearing protection because its at 79 decibels and it has a metal wear ring witch is helpful 🙂 and the padding is really comfy and I have never had a back pack blower with a fan in it and its amazing will recommend this blower
